Andover's Temple Emanuel To Host First Folk Music Coffeehouse Concert

ANDOVER, MA — Temple Emanuel in Andover has announced that it will be welcoming singer-songwriter Sue Horowitz for its first Folk Music Coffeehouse Concert next month.

The event takes place at 7 p.m. on June 10 at the temple, which is located at 7 Haggetts Pond Rd. The program is free and dessert and coffee will be served. The temple said it is inviting the people of Andover and the Merrimack Valley to the show. Those interested in attending can RSVP online.

The event is supported in part by a grant from the Andover Cultural Council, which itself is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, according to organizers.

Horowitz is a longtime Jewish composer, who recently recorded an album of secular folk music that debuted at No. 3 on the FAI Folk Radio charts. She also was a finalist at the 2022 Emerging Artist Grassy Hill Showcase and at the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest.

Additionally, Horowitz is a featured radio artist on Jewish Rock Radio, Hootenanny Cafe and Home Brew. Plus, she is the founder and creator of the Jewish Songwriting Cooperative retreat and she regularly leads songwriting workshops.

(Horowitz's) music, at times bittersweet, at times uplifting, at times funny and thoroughly entertaining, was a delight at every turn," Ilana Axel, a cantorial leader at Beth Tikvah Congregation in suburban Chicago, said in a statement on Horowitz's website. "Sue sings the stories of our own lives with her warm voice, her rich guitar, and her genuine heart."
